I was wondering if anyone had posted anything on Parker's demise while my 'puter was down for a few days last weekend and early last week. Never did check. Surpised that the passsing of an icon so revered elicited no earlier tributes from a2kers before this.

Thanx for posting that, Tsar.

@Merry Andrew,
Thanks, Tsar. I always loved the series; I wasn't living here but recognized so many of the outdoor scenes. Made me feel good to see the ole town.
